So far, methods of cleaning wild plants in paving block gaps have used manual or chemical techniques which, if examined further, could endanger the health of the environment and the surrounding people. Therefore, we need a tool to perform cleaning without side effects such as manual and chemical techniques. The tool to be developed is a cleaning weeds system in the paving block gaps using heating techniques. This document specifically discusses the literature study, behavior and hardware design design, implementation, and testing of user interface sub-systems and power sub-systems of the developed tools. The user interface sub-system is used as an intermediary between the user and the tool. This sub-system was developed using the Raspi 3B + microcontroller and the Python programming language. The user interface sub-system is designed to receive input from the user in the form of tool activation-deactivation commands as well as start and stop commands on device performance. In addition, this sub-system is designed to provide notification regarding the remaining power voltage level and notification of the work function of the running tool. There is also a power subsystem used to provide supply to other sub-systems that require power. This sub-system consists of rechargeable battery components and regulator components. The test results show that the user interface subsystem can provide notifications related to the type of work process that is currently running and give an order to cancel the running process. Apart from that, the user interface can also receive input to activate the system and display an indicator of the remaining battery voltage. Then the power sub-system can also produce voltage output according to the needs of the other three subsystems.
